Operation from Monaco is difficult due to the mountains and urban surroundings. The best way for you to ensure that we will be looking for you is to submit your entire wish list here VUSHF DX-peditions Most Wanted DX BEFORE we leave for Monaco! We plan beam headings in advance. We have decided to activate 70 MHz after all but operation is likely to be limited to one night. So make sure we know your call in advance through VUSHF DX-peditions Most Wanted DX. Be there or loose it. Please note that when we show up on the ON4KST chat(s) we will use the 3A/OZ2M callsign and corresponding locator JN33RR. So you will not have to guess our on air call and locator. We will not use home call and locator despite this seems to be a popular and growing trend. Call us old fashioned if you like. QSO with 3A/OZ2M is valid for PNGonVHF Award. We believe we will be quite busy so please consult the FAQ before asking questions. En route you may follow us on APRS OZ2M-7 and PA5DD-9. Operation: ----------- Operation primarily takes place from early in the evening until the following morning. However, if no one calls we might stop operation earlier than planned. Frequencies are subject to changes due to QRM. - MS and tropo: primarily 70,190 MHz but other frequencies may be used - MS: 144,393 MHz, tropo: 144,305 MHz 3A/OZ2M is in first 30 s period* *: First/even period for 3A/OZ2M, this DX-pedition station and all other aliases you may think of. Second/odd period for all other MS responding to 3A/OZ2M, this DX-pedition station and all other aliases you may think of. MS mode is FSK441. FAQ: --------- - Q: Will my chances of working you improve if I don’t read any of the information you post prior to asking you a question? A: No, on the contrary - Q: Don’t you think it is a good idea that I don’t send the report when I respond to your CQ? A: No - Q: I have invented my own MS messages don’t you think they improve the communication? A: No, they do not. Use only IARU Region 1 VHF Committee Meteor Scatter procedure messages. Otherwise you slow down things and may even jeopardise the QSO - Q: I am not on VUSHF DX-peditions Most Wanted DX can I have a sked? A: No - Q: How can I ensure that you have the patience to work me? A: We have a lot of patience for stations on VUSHF DX-peditions Most Wanted DX - Q: How to work you on split? A: Look for us calling e.g. CQ S950. Don’t put your TX on the agreed frequency but the DIFFERENCE between the stated QRG and the agreed QRG I should listen for you. E.g. We say we transmit on 290 but in reality it might be on 290,4. If we call CQ S950 then you should transmit 340 kHz lower even if this is not on 950! - Q: On meteor scatter when do I know the QSO has been completed? A: If outside or after MS contests check out Shouts - Q: When do you start operation? A: Check out Shouts - Q: When do you stop operation? A: Check out Shouts - Q: What is your CQ QRG? A: Check out Shouts - Q: What is your CQ QTF? A: Check out Shouts - Q: Why do you have such a focused way of operating? Why not go for the more casual and chatting style? A: Focused operation is the only way to work as many stations as possible - Q: Don’t you think it is to much work for me to turn my antenna to you? A: No, the effort of turning your antenna can hardly be bigger than making a DX-pediton - Q: Why do you send other reports than 26 it is confusing? A: We send reports that comply with the IARU Region 1 VHF Committee Meteor Scatter procedure on signal and duration reporting For direct QSLs please enclose 2 EUR to cover return postage. Alternatively 1 IRC, however, IRCs are not preferred. Direct QSLs with insufficient postage will be returned via bureau.
